Group of 7 of us stayed for an business strategy and planning retreat. The house is spacious with many comfortable rooms and three really nice group gathering areas. From housing perspective, it was perfect for us and we never felt tight or cramped.
Access to Old Rag parking was 10-12 minutes, and maybe 25 minutes to Shenandoah Nat Park Entrance, but easy. 15 minutes to Sperryville.
This is is country. There is wifi at the house, but as a group we found cell coverage very spotty and wifi was slow. We made it work for us and adapted.
The Corner Store at the bottom of the hill has enough of what you will need, but suggest you bring groceries on your way in to the house.
We stayed at Sun Dancer. There are 3 separate houses on this property (all rentals) and they share the grounds. The houses are each very private, and we did not feel like there were others around. If you wanted a place for a large family re-union, the total property could easily host if the other houses were available.
Our host was super easy to work with and the check in/out process was really easy.
We had a really nice time and would certainly consider returning.

Sixteen family members ranging from age two to sixty-eight all enjoyed this home. It's large with three levels (not handicapped accessible except the bottom floor) and a lovely cabin style inside. It has been well loved by the owner's family and has many travel mementos and trophies inside. This gives it a lot of character. It's so large, it's hard to keep everything spotless and dust free, but the bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen were all clean. The A/C went out while we were there, but the manager had someone come out and it was repaired as soon as possible. It's near the National Park, and we enjoyed several other activities suggested by the host. There aren't a lot of restaurants in the immediate vicinity, but the nearby wineries and brewhouse offer simple meals, and larger restaurants are only about fifteen to twenty minutes away.

Fun family vacation!
The property is beautiful. The house is like stepping into a museum with very unique decor. The kids loved the game room and fishing in the pond. The kitchen is well stocked with everything for cooking meals. My only complaint was a lack of linens for the bunkroom and flat pillows in almost every bedroom. I called the host but only heard a busy signal. You cannot call anyone on your cells from the house, no service, had to use the house phone to try to reach her. Fortunately for us a daughter was arriving the next day and brought us linens. We were a family of 16 but 2 of the kids slept on air mattresses which we brought because the bunkroom had 4 boys aged 12 to 15 who could not share double mattresses with their girl cousins. There is a futon downstairs which came in handy. Firepit was perfect for s'mores and the air conditioning worked great. Bathrooms were spotless and well stocked with toilet paper. Very unique also! We had a wonderful time!

Absolutely wonderful weekend
Had a wonderful time. The house is very eclectic, rustic, and visually applealing. Love the set up and all the bathrooms. There was evidence of it not being as clean as it could have been, and the stove top did not work well. But, overall, it was a great weekend and beautiful place to stay in the mountains.

50th Wedding Anniversary
We celebrated our 50th weddng anniversary with our family. Ages from 4 to 92. We enjoyed the view (would be better without the 2 trees!), the fishing, the woods. We found a swimming hold in the Shenandoah Nat'l Park not far from the house and we all enjoyed it.

beautiful spacious private house
the house design and setting was perfect for our family group of 13. age range 8 to 80 celebrating 2 family birthdays. there were enough bedrooms and bathrooms for all of us.Plenty of hot water. The firepit was great.
the view was outstanding as was the location.
So suggestions for me to give it 5 stars. 1) shampoo and conditioner in bathrooms 2) toilet paper for all bathrooms 3) paper towels in kitchen. 4) kitchen towels 5) put pots with matching lids in same cabinets 6)the decks needed cleaning possibly some new cushions. these are not big ticket items, but I think they make a big difference.

Gorgeous and unique property.
The property is very secluded yet not far off the main road. Open large kitchen/living/dining room with ample seating and space for 14 adults and two small children.. Kitchen is well appointed and we appreciated the huge island area. Bedrooms are large and we were able to accommodate 2 portacribs easily. I was confused about bathrooms as it is listed in one place as 4-1/2 (which is what it is ) but also as 5 and 6 bathrooms in other places within listing. Bathrooms are very large and easily shared but only 2 are accessible without entering a bedroom. One of those does not have a shower only a bathtub. Essentially if you have adults in the loft which sleeps 6 they would need to share one of 3 showers and the 2 adults in the bedroom next to the bathroom with only a tub would also need to share one of 3 bathrooms with showers. This was not a problem with our group of mostly 30 somethings but it could pose an issue for some. Having said all of that, we made it work and loved this stunning obviously well loved and cared for home.

Great Property and Easy Communication
We come to Virginia every year with a group of friends and it is increasingly challenging to find a property with enough bedrooms, bathrooms and great gathering and cooking space. Sun Dancer really fits the bill and we very much enjoyed our stay. Beautiful views from the large deck and lots of nice extra features like a fire pit area to enjoy outside. Kitchen well equipped with plenty of dishes and things to cook with. Eclectic decor and interesting art and collections!

Mixed Experience
Overall, our family enjoyed this property for a week in summer 2022. It is a very spacious house with a well-equipped kitchen and big dining table in the main living space which was very nice for our large family of over 10 people. There were nice areas for the whole group to gather, but plenty of places to spread out too. We especially liked the fire pit, corn hole, and fishing pond. The host provided a lot of helpful information, which we appreciated. We hiked around the property and visited other nearby sites.
We found that certain parts of the house seemed neglected and were not as nice or clean as the other parts of the house, such as the loft area (generally messy and dirty with no beds made up, we never did find the correct linens) and the furniture on the large patio (many pieces were dirty and not well-kept). These areas could use upgrades to match the rest of the house. From the conversation, it seems some of the beds in the house are definitely more comfortable than others. Cell service and wifi were both poor, which wasn't all bad, but still is worth noting.

Great place to stay photos don't do it justice
Great place to stay wished we could have done more in the woods but being mid summer bugs were a little rough and very hot and muggy. Would definitely go back if I were the host I'd get so new photos to show the place off better we were pleasantly surprised upon arrival. Just a like any VRBO stay a few things weren't perfect (stovetop was cracked and damaged but worked fine). Fishing pond was fun and we caught lots of bass lots of bugs would love to go in fall.

Christmas family reunion
Sun Dancer was perfect for our three generation family gathering of fourteen ranging in age from ten to early 80s. The inside was very roomy and reflected an eclectic decor from other cultures, countries, and the beautiful Shenandoah countryside where it is. Plenty of activities were available inside and the pond and Old Rag Mountain provided wonderful experiences for all on the outside The only challenges were finding bedding for the loft bunks and a can opener that worked. We had a lovely and memorable stay!

Quiet location with awesome views
Our family enjoyed our post-Christmas celebration at Sun Dancer. Our family enjoys hiking so a few had to go up Old Rag (while it was a challenging hike they were impressed with the views). Darden was very accommodating and the house fit our needs perfectly. If you want to get away, this fits the bill.

Fabulous!
The house was so comfortable and had everything you could need to host a large gathering! The property is gorgeous and everyone enjoyed hiking and exploring the surrounding land. Our 6 year old grandson particularly enjoyed the fossils and other interesting artifacts around the house. He said it was like a mini museum and he loved it!
Thank you you for such a wonderful experience! We will definitely be back! ❤
